If Bynum is a top 3 center, we might as well hope for a lock-out long enough for some kids to grow into 7 foot and improve that weak position.

The next great center of the NBA:

There's a chance Derrick Favors could be the backup point guard for the Jazz tomorrow night against the Wolves, I think everyone wants to see this.

It's probably going to be Watson starting with AK playing the backup role, right? I guess that means that Bell and Miles will be our only wing guys again and Al, Favors, and Fes our only bigs. Ridiculous.

 

[SephCast]

Boozer to miss another game and Noah missed shootaround with an illness. Gametime decision. Ugh.

Did anybody know that pimp guy joined realgm. Real gold:

Dude is nothing if not consistent. PEACE.

Looks like a poor man's version of Tyson Chandler, the high school version. He looks like a fucking softey.

Loving all the Bynum hate. The dude has had a major impact on every game since the all-star break [with the exception of the Heat game] and people just can't stand it. The fact is he's finally come to understand that he's far more valuable grabbing boards and playing defense than worrying about how many shots he gets. I think he now also realizes that if he does grab a ton of boards, he's gonna get his points a lot easier as well.

If the refs don't force Bynum to the bench last night and he actually plays in the 3rd qtr, he would've had 20+ boards and a few more points against MVP candidate Dwight Howard.



Deal with it.

Looks like someone forgot Jeremy Evans. Put up 9-6 last night in 20 minutes and played great D. AK will probably be the backup, but he goes down, Favors will unfortunately be the best option for backup point

Yeah, all these combo guards randomly growing to seven feet tall at 17 recently (AR, Perry Jones, Anthony Davis) never pan out. He seriously looks like he needs to actually eat food.

On a scale of 1-10, how hilarious is it going to be when the Wolves take Kemba Walker with the 6th or 7th pick?

Is there any consensus between Wolves fans for who you guys would like to draft?

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Raja's being a total bitch and baby today about getting benched even though Ty gave him heavy minutes down the stretch, why won't this guy just have a season ending injury already?

Jazz-Age, you're in danger of becoming as depressing as Wolves-Age.

Post something positive before I put you on ignore or call a suicide hotline.

I think people just want David Kahn to take the BPA for once. In that 5-7 range, it'll probably be Walker. Will Kahn have the balls to do it?

I'd rather have Walker than Rubio, to be honest.

Favors, Al, and Jeremy were awesome last night. It looks like the team learned how to defend PnR a little bit.

Walker would not be the BPA in that range.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Al Jefferson is so good offensively.

Or maybe he just is everytime I see him play.

Deron Webber was holding him back.

DX has him at 7, Ford at 10. After workouts and interviews his stock will go up a little bit.

DraftExpress: RT @DaveTelep: If you're wondering, Kemba Walker is a better kid than basketball player. Genuine person off the court. Nothing but class.

David Kahn won't be able to help himself.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Deron Webber was holding him back.

He put up these same numbers in February when Deron was still with the team, his ACLs were holding him back before.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Speaking of, when is that little shit supposed to come over anyway?

For some reason, I think he's vaporware, never to be released.

Though I think he won't be able to really do anything in the NBA, I sure would love to see the dude give it a try.

Wow. Kemba for real? You'd REALLY be better off going for almost anyone else...and why are you projecting your team to be at 6-7? Your record is pretty miserable.

Raja's being a total bitch and baby today about getting benched even though Ty gave him heavy minutes down the stretch, why won't this guy just have a season ending injury already?

And to think that he could have been a Laker...

 

[numble]

Earliest is 2012, he gets to escape the low-pay rookie contracts that way.

The Wolves keep saying next season, but I don't buy it, not with the lockout pending. If there's nothing by draft time, just trade him.

4th worst record right now + typical Wolves lottery luck = 6th or 7th pick.

So you'd rather have the guy who'll report immediately than the guy who seemingly doesn't want to report?

If you get Walker available, I'd trade Rubio. For an actual player though, can't trust Kahn with more picks.

Deron Webber was holding him back.

Speaking of Deron Webber, during our current 5 game streak Kris Humphries is averaging about 17ppg, 17rpg, and 2bpg.

Has anyone benefited from this trade more than him? He gets more touches and rebounds thanks to not having to split minutes with Favors, and Deron is making him look even better offensively. The only downside is that we're going to have to pay serious bank to keep him now.

Kemba is one of the more NBA ready players in this draft. The others are Jimmer and Derrick Williams.

Knicks beat the Heat and the Bulls, lose to the Magic in the ECF. Hmmmmm... sounds about right to me.

Hence Nate and JR dancing and hugging it out, with Jared Jeffries flashing dat toe-tappin' action. I think they can beat one team or the other. Not both.

I'd rather have the guy who I think will be good over the guy who I've really come to doubt will be.

Knicks have a shot at upsetting the heat, which would be magnificent.

Former Los Angeles Clippers coach Kim Hughes is used to helping players, but it was players who stepped up for him in his time of need.

In September 2004, while he was a Clippers assistant, Hughes was diagnosed with prostate cancer. He was premed at Wisconsin, so he had an idea what he was up against. His doctor told him that he could wait a few months for surgery, but the team was preparing for training camp and he didn't want to miss a chunk of the season recuperating. So Hughes went for a second opinion and found a doctor that would do the surgery a week later.

"But he wasn't covered under my insurance plan," Hughes told ESPNLosAngeles.com. "We had a certain group of doctors we could go to. So if I elected to use him, it'd be out of my pocket.

"[The Clippers] didn't talk to me directly about it. They told, I believe my agent, that the reason they couldn't pay for the surgery is if they paid for mine, if anybody else had a problem -- head coach, secretary, assistant coach -- if they paid for mine, the onus would be on them for everybody else.

"I said, 'That's fine. I choose to try and save my life, and if I have to pay for it myself, I will.'"

Then coach Mike Dunleavy, who had recommended the new doctor, mentioned Hughes' plight to some players.

Several players on that team -- including Corey Maggette, Chris Kaman, Elton Brand and Marko Jaric -- offered to help.

Good on the players for stepping up and paying for it, and smh at the Clippers organization.

Hah. I never ever upload stuff to YouTube, but I was on my profile just now and realized I uploaded the Knicks bench fight like 2 or 3 years ago where Zach and Nate were fighting and it got over 57,000 views. Apparently the NBA had the video taken down though, and some random user even left a comment on my page asking why I took it down.

True. I just wish he'd put some effort into it sometimes.
